Operation on the pleura
1) The document discusses various pleural surgeries including pleurectomy, pleurodesis, and decortication. Pleurectomy involves removing the parietal layer of pleura through a thoracotomy, while pleurodesis uses chemical or mechanical means to cause the pleural layers to adhere. Decortication removes thickened pleura layers due to chronic inflammation. 2) Pre-operative physiotherapy for these surgeries focuses on improving lung function and mobility. Post-operative care involves techniques like percussion and breathing exercises to clear secretions and expand the lungs while preventing complications. Mobility exercises also aim to restore shoulder and spinal movement. 3) Specific procedures for each surgery are described
